Are they both fighting against me?
Jon'C, I am a student of the Way. I always mean everything in both the mythical and philosophical sense, usually at the very same time, and in the most obtuse and illogical way possible. Taoism is like that.
I draw no distinction between faith and doubt. You cannot have faith without doubt, because the very definition of faith is believing despite your doubt. I also draw no distinction between science and religion, because I consider science to be a religion (in a certain sense) with the scientific principle as it's central tenant. Furthermore, people only fall into one of two categories. Those that understand the Way, and those that do not. The former category is forever empty.
